London is a perfect city to experience Valentine’s Day. There are so many romantic experiences that a couple can explore. From a traditional lunch in a luxury hotel to romantic restaurants. To walk one of London’s beautiful parks, visit a museum, or a ride on the iconic London eye – there is a great deal of things to experience. But the best and most exciting thing in our option that can take your loved one is Live Theater – because there is nothing like it!
Thanks to Playbill and the new Playbill Partner Hotels Booking Engine And in honor of Valentine’s Day, Playbill celebrates the best time for couples to see live theater in London. As a regular traveler to the West End, here are five shows I recommend taking your loved one, including tickets and times information.
Cabaret
Playhouse Theater
Northumberland Avenue, London WC2N 5th, London, and
Welcome. Bienvenue to the Kit Kat Club, home to the intimate and electrifying 2022 Olivier award-winning production of Cabaret. This production is an incredible experience of arguing from the building to departure, with a revolutionary adaptation of the musical. You enter a decadent sanctuary in the Playhouse Theater, where artists and artists, misfits and outsiders rule the night. Relax. Release. Be yourself. Have a cocktail (or two). And enjoy a perfect production of the date night.
And to contribute the experience, Tony/Emmy/Grammy winner Billy Porter and the Olivier Award, Marisha Wallace, are currently in the club as ‘Emcee’ and ‘Sally Bowles’!

Want to combine your West End performance with a fun night experience? I also recommend a Thames River Cruise. Enjoy a scenic speed in the Thames and take in iconic landmarks such as the Tower of London and the houses of parliament. Opt for a dinner for a very romantic atmosphere with live music and delicious food. I have the London dinner on the Thames And it was a 10/10 experience. Check out here!
